Austin American Statesmen

Good Morning young minds of America...

In the Austin American Statement on the twenty fifth of September there was an opinion of Obama’s speech in 2008 for students in school and how important it was to stay in school but many school districts in Texas didn’t think it was going to be a good speech for their students so was not watched at all. This author is trying to get across to those Texas school districts that didn’t see last year speech to help change their mind so they would want their students to see Obama’s speech this year. I think his argument is credible and agree with it because he does know what he’s talking about, last year districts didn’t want the schools to see Obama’s speech because they thought it was going to be a speech to try to brainwash schoolchildren around the country. That was not the case it was about kids staying in school so they can become something. This year’s speech was different not in what he says but how many school districts saw it, it was a good out come and more than last year saw the speech. “Obama in 2008 was just heard by some this year officials embraced the speech, and the students were the winners.” They got to see Obama say your destiny is up to you "Nobody gets to write your destiny but you," and many other great quotes like "Your future is in your hands. Your life is what you make of it. And nothing, absolutely nothing is beyond your reach, so long as you're willing to dream big, so long as you're willing to work hard.”(Obama) I think and the author thinks that many kids can take a lot from what he said and will since they saw it and will possibly change their life forever.

I read in article from USA Today “Study: Voters haven't been there for Dems in primaries” and it was about the US democrats that have not been showing up for the last primary elections this past year. This is important and a big difference from the previous years and does not look good for Obama’s reelection since his party is at an all time low. The article mentions that the reason for the low democrats is because the people never got what they were promised from Obama and are disappointed at this point. This is not the first time this happen in history, the election of 1992 where Bill Clinton won than two years later the republicans ruled over them. This is important article because it lets us know that we the democrats are slipping and need to remain voting to stay on top and in power “even one vote means something”.
